Orpheus Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 What are some of your all-time favorite (or least favorite) names of corps? Which ones stand out as especially strange or unique? A few of mine: the EyeOpeners the Nee-Hi's the Geneva Appleknockers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancerFi Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 (edited) I'm not sure why but I dislike the name: The Audobon Bon Bons I'm sure there are more that I like rather than don't like...I'll be back! :P Edited July 14, 2003 by LancerFi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamRam Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Favorite: Phantom Regiment - Just a cool name for a drum corps. Worst: The Cadets of ... - It is, and always will be Garfield Cadets <**> Oddest: The Thing - Huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why, come to think of it. :) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, in either 71 or 72 we were the Cadets of Garfield....the genesis of the "Cadets of....." goes back further than most people realize.

Mike, Cadets of...70-72 I stand corrected.:P It's still funny to see the blank look when I happen to be speaking with a drum corps newby and use the term "Garfield". I always have to say "... uh, er, um Cadets". That's when the lights come on :) Of course, I still use the term "Nationals" when referring to the DCI Championships. Some times you just can't teach an old dog new tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orpheus Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 Ya know ... "Blue Rock" always struck me as a funny name, too. I mean ... Blue Rock? I don't really get it. Anyone know the genesis of that name? It sort of stands out amid all the various Knights, Stars, Cadets, Scouts, Cavaliers, and Vanguards ... :D Fun fact -- unless I'm grossly mistaken, there isn't one corps competing in North America today that has a color other than blue in their name. (And no, the "Green Machine" doesn't count. LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
